Alien Taco & Tequila Bar - Jacksonville (FL)

5 /5 Marissa Neely: Meghan was a very friendly and helpful hostess and gave great recommendations from the menu! Appreciate the warm welcome for our first time being here! I would say the biggest seller of this place is the ambiance more than anything and the drinks are pretty cool.

4 /5 Theresa Esposito: Fun mexican restaurant in a strip mall (parking isnt a lot of fun). Its decorated with alien paraphernalia such as a spaceship and a lot of pictures and prints. Portions are all large and some can be shared, including drinks and desserts. On Sundays, the wings are a dollar each. The servers are attentive and helpful and take the time to answer questions and describe the food. The sweet and spicy shrimp is very tasty, although probably overpriced. The wings are good size and you can pick your sauce. The korean barbecue is very good. The verde vortex taco salad is large and the chicken comes finely shredded. Be sure to mix the salad up and add one of the salsas or ask for a dressing. The fries are basic so I would skip them for a different side. There is a very large drink menu with a margarita flight, and lots of options, so it would be a fun night out, or girls night, but be sure to have your designated driver or uber home, because some of these drinks are very large. Definitely worth a trip back.

5 /5 Terri Teal: Out of This World! A Must-Visit for Fun, Flavor, and Flair at Alien Taco If you’re looking for a dining experience that is truly "far from traditional" and embraces the fun and the unexpected, look no further than Alien Taco & Tequila Bar! This locally and proudly veteran-owned spot is a secret surprise wrapped in amazing Latin-inspired flavors and a fun-first atmosphere. The Vibe & Service: The decor alone is worth the trip. Everywhere you look, there’s something new to see, and the lighting and art create an incredible, quirky atmosphere. Instagrammers, make sure to find the "Taco Angel Wings" mural—it’s a mandatory photo op! My mother and I were welcomed warmly by a friendly "alien" waitress (who turned out to be the owner!), which immediately set the tone for a fun evening. Quirky Fun & Tech: Alien Taco integrates fun into everything. The owner pointed out the Alien Stock Exchange board, which is brilliant! You watch the board, and if you wait for the right moment, the price of a certain drink can drop to a rock-bottom price. It’s a great way to gamify your happy hour. They also have a wonderful website with a call-ahead waitlist, which is super helpful. But the biggest surprise? The restroom! Dont push the button... unless you want to start an instant disco party! It’s a must-see experience, though maybe proceed with caution if you’ve enjoyed a few too many tequila flights! The Food (The Star of the Show): The food is truly creative. Since there were so many delicious options, we chose two different tacos: the Cabo Shrimp Taco and the Cheese Crater Birria Taco. Both were absolutely fantastic—fresh, flavorful, and definitely not traditional! They were served with sweet plantains, and we chose the loaded fries as our side. Everything was executed perfectly. To top it all off, we were treated to a taste of their cinnamon sugar churros served with chocolate and strawberry dipping sauces. Talk about finishing the meal with a bang! We left feeling completely satisfied, bellies full, and already planning our return. Alien Taco is more than just a restaurant; it’s a destination with live entertainment (karaoke, Latin nights) happening every day of the week. Come for the tacos, stay for the tequila, and enjoy the out-of-this-world experience!

5 /5 Richa Owen: We had heard so many great things about this place so we decided to try it. Wow, what a great vibe! Super fun place with great food, a very friendly staff and great decor. Seriously some of the best Mexican food I have ever had. Our server was Megan and she was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, kind and attentive. She went above and beyond to make our experience enjoyable. The karaoke was very fun and some of the singers were not great, but many were very very good. Good or bad, everyone was having fun. I highly recommend this business. Stop in and try it. We will definitely be back.
